People have been selectively breeding dogs for thousands of years. Our faithful companions have helped us with everything from hunting and herding to protection and therapy. Over time certain breeds have become more popular than others, but we've combined a list of breeds that you've probably never heard of. Some of them are new breeds and others just aren't very common in the US. How many of these have you heard of?

1. Kromfohrlander (krome-for-lahn-dair)

Height: 15-18 inches

Weight: 20-35lbs

These medium-sized dogs are known for their being funny, agile and intelligent

They come in two coat types: wirehaired and smooth haired

These dogs were bred to be companions and don't have the same hunting instinct that their terrier heritage might suggest they would.
